"In his 22 years of service to the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, Lieutenant Mothershead has gained the highest respect from his colleagues, and has established a great reputation." "In the last six months, I have seen an increase in what I consider to be questionable prosecutions involving ads placed in the Adult Erotica section of Craigslist."

Police said this arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into the online prostitution of minors. More than 20 arrests have been made so far during the investigation.

Mothershead's lawyer told The Washington Post that she believes there is not enough evidence to prove the charges.
